| Reverse description | Marcus Aurelius depicted on horseback at full gallop to the right, clad in military dress with a paludamentum (military cloak) billowing behind him. He holds a spear horizontally in his right hand, in the manner of an equestrian commander. The figure is rendered in a dynamic, if somewhat provincial, style consistent with Bithynian civic coinage of the mid-second century AD. The surrounding Greek legend identifies him as Caesar, reflecting his status as designated heir during the reign of Antoninus Pius. |
